15. A Beckcon Of Hope

   The next day I went to school feeling sad, and it felt like the joy I had a few days ago had suddenly dissipated. I felt like the weight of the word was on my shoulder. And to crown it all it was Friday, the weekend came so fast and I didn't like it.

      For others, Friday was a day of joy the weekend is here, no school and all that. But for me the weekend was hell and I had to stand listening to all that whiny. And unnecessary house chores. Stella's friends treat me like a slave and so much more. It is hell, I can't escape.

       I walked to my locker and reorganized it trying not to waste time cause I wanted to read my notes for the test today. I had no time to prepare for it... 

    The hall was quiet, it was still pretty early, and most students were still having breakfast at home. I had no such luxury. I had to study for all my exams.

        I walked past the music room when I held a sweet melody playing. The tone was sad but also hopeful. It was a rare combination that I did not know would sound so beautiful.

  "The person playing the piano must be so talented" I whispered to myself. Abandoning my earlier thoughts on looking for a quiet place that will remain quiet for a while.  

     I was curious to know the person who was producing this wonderful tune so I slowly walked toward the door and tried to peep in but I could not see the person.

       I didn't want to badge inside and startle the person, so I slowly opened the door after struggling to see for hours, as I pushed the door open, I felt a hand on my hands the hand pulled the door back, pulling me along, I landed on what was not the wall, this doesn't feel like a wall at all. The hand grips my hand tightly and pulls me closer.

"Did no one tell you that curiosity kills the cat" the voice whispered in my ears. I shuddered pushing myself away from the stranger. I turned to stare and noticed it was Prince not so charming himself. He had a grim look on his face.

  I stared wordlessly at him and wondered how the same face that comforted me with a smile in my dreams could look so mean in real life.

"I am talking to you" he grips my shoulder shaking me off my thoughts.

"Hey hands off asshole, did no one teach you not to manhandle a lady " I yelled, pulling his hands off my shoulder. I walked off ignoring him. I will explore some other time.

      "Hey, are you ignoring me" I heard him say, I didn't look back, why is he so annoyingly cute? No, he's not I answered my subconscious thinking.

    I went to the library and began reading I read for an hour before hearing the warning bell as I made it to my next class.
